Jack Ye 75eefedc4b feat: return a cleanup job from drop_view
Dropping a view unbinds its name and leaves the definition dataset to a cleanup
job, so the two are separate events a caller may want to wait on.
`drop_view_async` returns the job, the same shape `drop_materialized_view_async`
and `drop_function_async` already use: a 202 carries the job id, and a 200 --
nothing bound to the name -- yields an already-finished job.

`drop_view` waits on that job before returning, so a caller that does not want
to think about cleanup gets the stronger guarantee: when it returns, the
definition really is deleted. That differs from `drop_materialized_view` and
`drop_function`, which return as soon as the name is unbound; the view API is
the newer one and this is the semantic worth having.

This will download the appropriate native library for your platform. We currently support:

  • Linux (x86_64 and aarch64 on glibc and musl)
  • MacOS (Intel and ARM/M1/M2)
  • Windows (x86_64 and aarch64)

Usage

Basic Example

import * as lancedb from "@lancedb/lancedb";
const db = await lancedb.connect("data/sample-lancedb");
const table = await db.createTable("my_table", [
  { id: 1, vector: [0.1, 1.0], item: "foo", price: 10.0 },
  { id: 2, vector: [3.9, 0.5], item: "bar", price: 20.0 },
]);
const results = await table.vectorSearch([0.1, 0.3]).limit(20).toArray();
console.log(results);

The quickstart contains more complete examples.
